Speak My Language

Speak my language
A language of love I can understand
My heart language
Understand my need
My desire to be understood
Speak my language
Speak fluently to my heart
Words of Affirmation
I thrive on hearing praise
Appreciation
Verbal validation
Of all I do and am
Of all I want to be
Words of Affirmation
Speak to my inner woman
And give her fairy wings
To fly to you and meet YOUR every need
In a language YOU understand
Caress me
Run your fingers through my hair
Let them frolic with every strand
Run them over my lips
Dip them inside
And let my lips close over them
Let my tongue tease
Run your fingers down the length of my arms
Give the fullness a gentle squeeze
Let your lips travel down my neck
On their pilgrimage
To the sacred valley
Between my breasts
Where they will nestle for a while
Before they travel
Up the soft snow white ascent
Longing to explore
The beautifully colored terrain
Of the glorious twin peaks
Gently, with butterfly wings touch my waist
Feel the earthquake motions they instigate
Let your hands speak
A language my body understands
The language of Physical Touch
The one I comprehend the most
A language that will not be lost
In translation to my heart
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
My love languages
That fill to overflowing
My desire to be loved, wanted
Acts of Service
I will gladly perform
Speaking now in turn to you
What your heart translates
As love from your woman
I'll show my respect and care
In tangible ways
A bed freshly made
Warm food to tempt your appetite
As I will later tempt your body
A massage to sooth away
The cares of your day
Quality Time
Your heart understands
When I give you my full attention
Putting all else aside
As my eyes focus on yours
And the world stands still
I free my mind to listen to the words
Spoken and unspoken
That you convey to me
And having heard all
I arrange my time
So that your heart can see
You are a top priority
To me
And the final language
Is a shared one, my love
Giving Gifts...
A poem tucked in your briefcase
A flower for me
Heart shaped earrings
My favorite perfume
A necktie
A luscious mango
When my heart craves succulence
Decadent chocolate
Made ever sweeter
For it comes melting to your lips
Spread on the tips of my breasts
For your mouth to savor
Satisfying your sweet tooth tantrums
Speak my language
Hear with your body and soul
As I eloquently “speak” to you
Love understood, lived, celebrated
Yes, my love
Speak to me
In a language
I can understand

Andrea, we're not all from Mars, but I hear you--and Eileen, though I can be more romantic than most---alright never mind--good god woman--you should be a love ride at Disney--na, the lines would be too long LOL---Gentlemen PAY ATTENTION!! Love it!

;) Awwwwwwwwwwww..........you are always so sweet, Craig. Thanks ever so much for this visit and the lovely lovely post!!!! I've been down in the dumps this afternoon. So good to have this to pick me up and put a smile on my face. THANKS!!! :)

Eileen, my goodness girl! This is such a testimony of my own love language... Every line resonated deeply and beautifully. Going in my favorites. Adore your writings in the highest sweet friend. <3 XOXO

It's sad that more men all over the world do not understand the basic concept that this poem is discussing. this is wonderful, Eileen. but men are from Mars and it is difficult to find one that can understand those of us from Venus.

Yes, Andrea. That is the truth! I understand that's a powerful book. I haven't read that one, but this book...Love's 5 Languages by Gary Chapman is very powerful. Try getting a man to even READ a book on marital issues. I have several....Making Love Last Forever, Sex Begins in the Kitchen, He Wins, She wins...and hubby won't read a single one. :( I guess up there in Mars reading doesn't DO it for anyone! HA HA! Lovely visit. I got a bit carried away with this one. Silly me!

Richard. Thank you for that adjective. You have just spoken in one of the two languages that reach me...WORDS OF AFFIRMATION! :) Thanks ever so much! Glad you liked it. Always good to have clarity in knowing how best to reach someone.

"Decadent chocolate", "breasts"...I didn't know chocolate would go good with chicken. ;-) Oh, you mean the OTHER breasts, mm'kay! Passion, food, love...a tremendous combo of a lover's language...especially when you add a rolling of the "R's". I digress. =D

I know that they have a LOVE POEMS link a well, and the poems here that get ticked with the love category get siphoned into that. I don't know what to make of this, Cyndi! :( Thanks for making me aware off it. Thanks also for the love visit and post here! :) Catch you later.

This is a lovely poem.... :D.... full of love! Hey, hon, I was tired last night. So YES poetry zoo is REAL. As soon as you put up a new poem, click on the link that TPS gave on their blog. The "new poems" page is exactly the same on that site. As soon as you post here, it POSTS THERE! It's a carbon copy page, basically! AWK! NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!!!

Tell your beloved: "Your language would I perfectly speak when your boiling blood my empty veins would fill!" Yes, Eileen, you are so right people have to speak each-other's language for understanding to come and love to flourish! Wonderful poem, a 7!

Gary Chapman is the marriage counselor behind the concept of love languages which are quality time, physical touch, acts of service, giving gifts, and words of affirmation. We often fail to FEEL loved because what is conveyed to us is not in a language that we understand. Here is a link if you would like to find out more about this amazing concept. You will not regret buying the book for couples and for parents.
